Anne,

Thanks for the link to Darren Rowse’s ProBlogger. I learned a lot just from his video. Now I’m rethinking my entire setup and know how to do it.

I concur with Spike re: resources. On my RSS feed, I have Anne's blog, ProBlogger, and Copyblogger, to name a few. I will check yours, Anne, after I finish this reply. I think there has to be another category. The writing blogs, environment blogs, science blogs, cooking blogs, etc., don't seem to fall into the true weblog category. They're not what people did that day (usually) but seem to be about their passions and interests. I don't expect to make any money off my posts, I do hope to get known, and published and read, and I'd be less than honest to say otherwise. FWIW, Norm Norm’s last blog post..Ersatz Coffee

Heh… blogs on blogging. May I suggest avoiding ProBlogger unless you’re serious about earning money via a blog? It’s very dry if you’re not into the whole business thing.

The “whole blog thing” makes sense when you realise that there’s a lot of them out there that *aren’t* personal web-journals. Like this one, eh, Anne! The blog format just lends itself well to news, opinion and so on. I do three paid blog jobs at the moment, mostly news- and opinion-based, and it makes sense: good blog attracts visitors, equals readership, equals “customers” (whatever that means to the site owner).

I also have a short series on starting blogging on my blog (yes, a blog entry about blogging…), for absolute beginners. Nowhere near as good as some, but maybe helpful.
